This is a fantastic 1947 Lincoln Continental. It was restored by well known Lincoln enthusiast Ron Bloom who has owned the car for more than 40 years. Due to Ron's health the car hasn't been driven much in the last decade but it has been well stored.
Ron Bloom bought this car in 1964 it was his dream car since he was 10 years old, Ron fully restored the car. Engine, transmission, exterior and interior where all refurbished over the following 10 yrs. The car was repainted 10 years ago and then a new cloth top installed Car has all the factory options available at that time including windshield washers. Ron bloom was a board member for the classic car club of America and the Lincoln owners club for many years. He also was best known for his fabulous stainless steel replacement parts manufacturing for classic Lincoln's. A true craftsman. Some locals may recall Dennis Johnson of the Seattle supersonics riding in the back of this Lincoln after the 1979 championship parade in Seattle with 300,000 supporters looking on. The body and chassis are in extremely nice condition. No rust to be found at all. The paint is quite nice with just a few very minor blemishes showing. The glass is all great. The Interior too is in excellent condition. The Red leather seats have just a tiny bit of patina showing. The dash is beautiful. The convertible top and tonneau cover are great. The engine starts easily and the car is quite drivable. It runs great when cold but starts to run a bit rough as it warms up and I suspect the ignition system needs attention. The gauges all work. It has a new battery. There are a few things not working such as horns, wipers, clock probably due to not being used much in recent years. The brakes work great. The gearbox shifts easily and smoothly through all gears. The vacuum powered top goes up and down great. It comes with a clear title, Lincoln manuals and lots of Lincoln club literature. This car is in overall fantastic condition and will likely only need minor tuning and attention to be in extremely usable condition. this classic continental has not been driven for about 8 years. With a new battery, spark plugs and fresh fuel we were able to get it running and driving but would advise new owner to have the car serviced before any long driving adventures. Buyer is responsible for shipping costs and arrangements. The Lincoln can be viewed by appointment in Snohomish WA. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Must be picked up within 30 days. Please feel free to ask any questions. Please watch the video of this car in action: |

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.

LA Auto Show recap
Lincoln and MKZ propose brand reinvention
Mon, 03 Dec 2012Lincoln made a rather assertive statement about the future of its products at the 2012 LA Auto Show. Rather than put any new vehicle on display for the first press day, the American premium brand placed a collection of classic cars from its past on the show floor. For the second day, that assortment was replaced with more than a half-dozen examples of the all-new 2013 MKZ. Following that, Lincoln teased a new ad campaign that was in the works, and it appears we now have the first extended promotional video.
Entitled "The Lincoln Motor Company," the spot acts as more of a mission statement, rather than an ad, featuring (once again) cars from Lincoln's past, as well as certain bits of Americana usually reserved for a Levi's ad. The video concluded with Lincoln reintroducing itself to the world, accompanied by a new name: The Lincoln Motor Company.
The video is likely to be the first of many in a large advertising blitz by the automaker, in concert with the rolling-out of the new MKZ. The sedan was the only new vehicle featured in the video, and Lincoln is betting heavily on this "reinvention" to bring customers in to see its new sedan. We want to know what's next. Scroll down to watch the video.
